Sal ( Shorea robusta Gaertn. f.) forests cover over 11 million ha in India, Nepal and Bangladesh, and these forests are conventionally managed for timber. Recently, interest in producing multiple products from sal forests has increased; accordingly, a silvicultural regime for managing sal forest for...

River channel confluences are widely acknowledged as important geomorphological nodes that control the downstream routing of water and sediment, and which are locations for the preservation of thick fluvial deposits overlying a basal scour. Despite their importance, there has been little study of th...

Abstract The Brahmaputra River is one of the world’s largest sand-bed braided rivers with a channel belt up to 15 km wide, a mean channel depth of 5 m and maximum scour depths of up to 40 m. The recorded discharge varies by around 60 000 cumecs every year following the annual monsoon, producing dram...

Rainfall events coupled with shallow and gravelly sloping farmland have led to serious soil erosion and associated problems in the Three Gorges reservoir. Previous studies have shown that the use of vegetation is an effective way to control soil erosion. Therefore, an artificial, simulated rainfall ...
